point taken, I am giving up now. I must have been wrong. I didn't like
alot of squarepusher's latest output either. I just felt like there was
really no reason to just criticize the music unless asked. I mean, the
person who came out and was like "squarepusher's stuff sucks now!, he
should try harder" seemed to be expecting the artist to be working to
satisfy his fans. If you don't like it, don't buy it, but why give your
opinion when not asked? maybe it's just me and how I am. Sorry for
pushing my point of view on others.
